Problem 3.12:

An evacuated tank is filled with gas from a constant pressure line. Develop an expression relating the
temperature of the gas in the tank to temperature T of the gas in line. Assume that gas is ideal with
constant heat capacities, and ignore heat transfer between the gas and the tank. Mass and energy balances
for this problem are treated in Ex. 2.13.

Solution:
Choose the tank as the control volume. There is no work, no heat transfer & kinetic & potential energy changes are
assumed negligible.

Problem 3.21:

An ideal gas flows through a horizontal tube at steady state. No heat is added and no shaft work is done.
The cross-sectional area of the tube changes with length, and this causes the velocity to change. Derive an
equation relating the temperature to the velocity of the gas. If nitrogen at 150 0C flows past one section of
the tube with a velocity of 2.5 m/s, what is the temperature at another section where its velocity is 50 m/s?
Let CP = (7/2) R
